"When I formed Spirited Travel, I wanted to create group travel experiences that were culturally rich and spiritually up lifting. My utmost goal was to provide exceptional travel experiences to my local community that would otherwise not be possible. What I wasn't expecting was all the joy, new connections and friendships my clients and I have made as a result."

My tour executive was truly a "travel insider" and her passion for our destination showed in her expert local knowledge. She really took the hassle out of traveling, from a wonderful tour itinerary to flawless execution. I didn't have to worry about a thing. Baggage handling was included and I was free to relax and simply enjoy myself. Spirited Travel made sure my tour was an amazing experience from start-to-finish!
